Hi Patricia
I am in the same position as you just now and I also go for my results tomorrow. I went to the breast clinic on Monday, where after mammograms, a scan and then a biopsy I was told it ‘looks like cancer’ but will need biopsy results to confirm. I asked if there was a chance it might not be and was told this was ‘highly unlikely’. I’m 38 with 3 daughters and I understand your fear as I have it too. I’m glad you have found this site like me, everyone is just wonderful and I’m truly humbled by how nice everyone is, and all fighting their own battle. Thoughts are with you for tomorrow. Let’s hope we both get positive news.
Take care and good luck!

Patricia & Doodles,
Such a very difficult time and try as you might you can’t stop worrying, it is a complete shock to the system so it is very normal to feel the way you do.
Hopefully your news will be positive, if not once you have a plan in place it is easier believe it or not.
Take care and lots of hugs to you both, please let us know how you get on, fingers crossed for tomorrow xx
hi doodles its awfull isnt it i cant stand the waiting i think if i was to know one way or another i could deal with it i will be thinking of you tomorrow what time is your appointment i am in at 11, 30 i have 3 children and my mum died of breast cancer she was 31 and my mums sister died of bc she was early 50s its good to talk to someone else cos i was feeling really low like you this site looks great keep in touch x
Patricia, my appointment was supposed to be at 1pm but they just called me’ asking if I could go at 11am instead. Not sure what to make of that? Most certainly keep in touch. X
Hi to you both,
I was in the same position as you in december. My consultant also told me she thought it would be cancer when she took the biopsy and she was right. I have now had the lump removed (WLE), the nodes under my arm removed as it had spread to one of them, and radiotherapy, and am just about to go back to work. I have 5 years of hormone treatment to take but have been on it already for 2 months with no side effects. Nothing has been as bad as I feared in those first few days.
The waiting is definitely the hardest bit. I know it sounds odd but once you know for sure, and have a treatment plan it does start to feel better.
The one thing I would suggest is that you use some time today to think about what questions you want to ask tomorrow. Perhaps things like how big is it, is it hormone positive (which will affect the treatment you have), what grade is it (again this affects the treatment). The guides on this site can give you some idea of what is important, as can other posters of course. How much you want to know about your own condition is a very personal thing though, some people like to know everything, others prefer to just put their trust in the specialists and take it one day at a time.
Good luck for tomorrow,
Lynda
Good luck Patricia and Doodles
Hope all goes well for you.

Thanks for all the support my fingers and toes are crossed xx
Biopsy confirmed that it is BC. I’ve to go for a MRI on Monday, results Thursday to tell me’ exactly how much they need to remove. Surgery expected end of April. X
Hi Doodles and Patricia
I’ve just read your posts and feel for you both. I’m now 5 weeks since surgery - WLE and SLNB and for Radiotherapy. Planning session is next Thursday, 5 April.
Yes, the waiting is difficult. I’ve found it easier when my friends (they’ve been brilliant) encourage me to talk about it. Being single, I’ve found two particular friends absolutely invaluable. Hopefully, you have others you can talk to about all this, your worries etc. I’m so sure it’s helped a lot
Like you, Doodles, I needed MRI. The ladies doing it were fantastic. I’m sure you’ll feel well looked after.
So, all the best to you both, and everyone else doing all this, of course.
Take care, keep posting
Cheers
Hi Doodles what a day for you.
I imagine its difficut to put into words exactly how you feel. There is a lot good feeback from others on this site. Its good to know your not the only person going through this dreadful time.
Hope all goes well on Monday, please keep us posted.
Hugs

So glad I have found this site.
I also have to go back on Monday for the results of my biopsy which I had on Monday 26th. Don’t quite know how to feel and haven’t been able to cry.

It is true what everyone says-the waiting is the worse part. I was quite calm until about an hour before the appointment then I was a nervous wreck. Once they told me I did calm down a little and the consultant and breast cancer nurse were very positive. I know I am lucky as I have caught it early and they have told me its treatable but it’s still scary. I hope you are one of the 9 out of 10 that get good news. Fingers crossed for you and please let me know how you get on tomorrow x
i am to scared i go for results of my op and lymph nodes …a, trying to say positive .i have 8 children so need to stay calm and positive but i crumble every time i look at them and i keep telling my oh that i love him i think im sending him mad to 
i got tomoz to huggs xx
Hi All - well got the results on Monday, 16 mm breast cancer which will be initially treated with lumpectomy and rads. Was initially given 30 April but received phone call yesterday to say 25 April. Hope you are all feeling ok - I am still in denial I think as I still haven’t cried but feel that tense inside I could burst. Love and thoughts to you all. xx
